Political, Social, and Religious Ravings from a Texas Conservative

Mack Beggs – A Wrestling and Societal Legacy

[Note: This post covers a topic related to transgenderism. Usually when people write on this subject they use the pronoun preferred by the individual and insisted upon by politically correct society. I’m afraid I don’t do that (for clarity/accuracy purposes). A female identifying as a male is “she”. A male identifying as a female is “he”. Anyone identifying at a 15th century aristocrat isn’t “his or her majesty” but rather “idiot” or “he” or “she” (as gender dictates), as would anyone identifying as a fiddler crab.]

The headline in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reads “Trinity’s transgender wrestler credits teammates for his state title“. You have to read further, much further into the article to get into the details of what happened here and even then it gets convoluted due to the politically correct pronoun replacements and politically correct bull$&*%…

I’ll try to step through it.

Mack Beggs, a girl, has won the Class 6A girls wrestling state title in Texas.

Mack Beggs has decided she is male. I believe the politically correct term is “identified” as male.

Daffy Duck Loses It

This should have the same impact as identifying as a unicorn or fiddler crab. 1) From a reality perspective identifying as something does not mean you are that something, nor does any amount of assertion, affirmation, or surgery get you one step closer to being that something. 2) From a psychological mental health perspective, the response should be the same. You are not that something. You never will be that something. Now let’s help you accept and deal with that.

But look at our society! It has degraded to the point that we will go along with the charade and take pride in the fact that we are so open minded, and all it costs us is objective truth.

Mack Beggs has “identified” as a “boy” since the age of three according to her parents. (Which is as much a statement on the parents as it is the girl.)

“This is about Mack wanting to do what Mack wants to do.” — Marco Karam (father)

Yes, exactly, and about parents not correcting that problem and guiding the child from an early age…

It’s also about Mack not having to face consequences when Mack does what Mack wants to do… something continuing today with her UIL wrestling.

Mack Beggs, is still a girl by gender, meaning she has not yet mangled her body, though she has begun the process by taking testosterone (for more than a year now).

As a side note that may have a little tiny bit of relevance to this story… Testosterone is a performance enhancing drug, pretty well illegal in most organized women’s sports. (Texas UIL seeming to be the exception here.)

Mack gives credit to her teammates, lots of practice and training, and a hard work ethic. She regrets the spotlight was on her and not them… She doesn’t mention the role of the testosterone treatments for some reason…

There has been a lawsuit filed that would prevent Mack from wrestling in the girls division next season. Which begs the question… how did she do so this season.

Of course in our sick society, too many would immediately assume this means she would get to wrestle in the boys division. That’s what Mack wants…

“The overwhelming sentiment here is that Mack should be allowed to wrestle, but should be required to compete against the boys.” — Coppell attorney Jim Baudhuin, who filed the suit.

This coming from the guy representing the girls cheated out of their opportunity to fairly compete. His solution is to shuffle this mess to the boys division.

Look at just about everyone interviewed… the fascist left has them scared to death to speak the truth of the matter. This just goes to show you, that we are so indoctrinated or scared of political correctness we can’t reach the truth, no matter how obvious.

Quotes from George Orwell concerning the truth in society, or the lack of it and men to speak it.

The Star-Telegram explains it this way… “More than 600 Texas school district superintendents voted nearly unanimously last year to determine gender by birth certificate forcing Beggs to face girls despite taking testosterone, a decision that runs counter to NCAA policy and International Olympic Committee guidelines.”

The 600 Texas superintendents got it right. My question is exactly what is forcing Beggs to face girls despite the drugs. It’s hard for me to believe that there is not some rule/law concerning performance enhancing drugs in UIL competitions, but that is indeed the case under Texas law. It shouldn’t be.

So here is where we should be, but can’t seem to get there… even in Texas.

Mack should not be wrestling with the boys (this season, next season, or ever), because… Mack is a girl and always will be.

Mack should not be wrestling girls because she is taking performance enhancing drugs. Mack (under her current condition) shouldn’t be wrestling at all. Texas law should be changed to ensure that in the future.

In a perfect world, Mack would have weighed the consequences of her decisions (with the help of loving parents with a modicum of common sense) and perhaps waited until she was an adult (at least 18) before she moved forward with her “treatment”. She might have waited even longer if she showed promise at a college or professional level.

Common sense… consequences… common decency… where are they today? You want to see Barack Obama’s legacy. It’s the Mack Beggs’ of the world. This crap is insane… literally!

Yep. They’ve had opportunities to change the rule to allow students to compete based on their gender identity (like the NCAA does). They chose not to. The Resource Center, an LGBT group based in Dallas, sent them a letter in 2015 saying they were making a “grave error” in having rules that would force a trans kid to compete within his/her birth gender. Didn’t seem to have an impact.

>There has been a lawsuit filed that would prevent Mack from wrestling in the girls division next season. Which begs the question… how did she do so this season.

Indeed. Why did the UIL ignore this situation?

If I’ve understood correctly, you’re proposing the UIL dropped the ball because they’re weak-willed and have collapsed in the face of left-leaning social pressure.

That’s certainly possible — I’m no UIL expert — but it’s hard for me to understand. The UIL is in a conservative state, in a country where the right runs the majority of states, as well as the House and Senate, with a Republican president. The left/Democrats are quite weak, politically. Whence this power over a Texas-based body, run by (I presume mostly) conservative superintendents?

There are three possibilities I can see:

1. They just didn’t think things through — kind of like the various bathroom laws popping up across the South that would force a woman who had a sex change 20 years ago, and now sounds, looks, and dresses like a man, to use the women’s restroom. Unintended consequences.

2. They’re actually a left-leaning group, regardless of being in a conservative state with conservative school boards that select the superintendents that run the UIL.

3. They’re doing this on purpose to bring transgender issues to a head (and make the trans community look ridiculous/evil).

Thoughts? Is #3 too much of a conspiracy theory?

To be clear: I do not support gender transition, hormone therapy to delay puberty, or any of that before full adulthood. Which for me would be mid-late 20s. Parents supporting these radical procedures on children are weak-willed to the point of being child abusers.

>> Yep. They’ve (the UIL) had opportunities to change the rule to allow students to compete based on their gender identity (like the NCAA does). They chose not to.

Which was the right decision. Mack should not be wrestling in the boy’s division; this would also be a travesty.

>> The Resource Center, an LGBT group based in Dallas, sent them a letter in 2015 saying they were making a “grave error” in having rules that would force a trans kid to compete within his/her birth gender. Didn’t seem to have an impact.

Good, at least that’s something… This group is pushing the leftist transgender agenda; which is their right. It just needs to be ignored. So again… the right decision by the UIL.

>> Indeed. Why did the UIL ignore this situation? (Mack wrestling in the girl’s division this season) If I’ve understood correctly, you’re proposing the UIL dropped the ball because they’re weak-willed and have collapsed in the face of left-leaning social pressure.

I place blame squarely on Texas law (and thus the Texas Legislature) and the fact that the law allows someone to participate when they are taking a performance enhancing drug “prescribed by a doctor”. THAT is the problem here. THAT is what needs to be corrected.

I really don’t blame the UIL. In fact, I think they’re doing the right thing all around. They’re caught in the middle of this mess not of their making. 1) They are following the rules they established (concerning competing based on birth gender) and 2) They are following the rule of law (even thought they might not agree with it).

The UIL actually had the opportunity to do the opposite and “collapse in the face of right-leaning social pressure” and chose not to. I give them credit for approaching this objectively (and I could be mistaken) and simply following the rules/law.

>> There are three possibilities I can see: 1) Not thinking 2) Left Leaning 3) Intend to bring transgender issues to a head.

Obviously, I choose option 4) Caught in a mess created by stupid law and are making the best of it.

>> Thoughts? Is #3 too much of a conspiracy theory?

Yes 🙂

>> To be clear: I do not support gender transition, hormone therapy to delay puberty, or any of that before full adulthood.

You’re are right on the money here.

>> Which for me would be mid-late 20s.

I would say 18. I guess the libertarian streak in me wakes up on this issue. I say as a society we pick an age (18, 21, 30, whatever…) at which point you are an adult. And from that point on you can do any and everything an adult is allowed to do, any and everything required for adults to do, and suffer the consequences of your adult actions. This would include drinking, voting, the draft, rearrange furniture (sex), mutilate your body as you see fit, etc…

>> Parents supporting these radical procedures on children are weak-willed to the point of being child abusers.

Yes, and are not fit to be guardians. (I believe Mack was raised by her grandmother.) In addition, the doctors should lose their medical licenses. Both should face criminal charges.

To Be Clear, the only thing Mack should be wrestling is with the consequences of her decision to move forward with her “transition” at this early age and its effect on her desire to compete. This meaning she should be disqualified from wresting in either division; one (the boy’s division) because of her gender and two (the girl’s division) because of her taking performance enhancing drugs. Why, is irrelevant. She did not face those consequences this season because of the (Texas) law. The law should be changed to ensure this result next season.
